Presented by world-renowned management analyst Professor Andrew Kakabadse.
Abstract
Professor Kakabadse has recently completed the world’s largest survey on Corporate Boards and there performance. This survey includes a selection of Australian Boards which are ranked in the top 10 on overall performance. Of particular interest will be the finding that the Board Chairman equals if not of more importance to the CEO of the company. He will discuss this outcome on company culture and performance. He will also discuss an analysis of Blair Government Ministers on Government performance and effectiveness in the Public Service Sector.
